Filmmaker Statement

At first, it was a fascination of how the believable worlds and stories I watched in the movie theater were actually "fake". Then me wanting to use the techniques I learned to create the worlds of my own. From there, I matured with each film I made, to really tap into the "why" of each shot I create and each story that I tell.
